About the exhaust feature.

Charcoal FilterThe Vent Fan (on some models)

The vent fan has 2 metal reusable grease filters.

Models that recirculate air back into the room also use a charcoal filter.

Reusable Grease Filters

(on all models)

Reusable Grease Filters

The metal filters trap grease released by foods on the cooktop. They also prevent flames from foods on the cooktop from damaging the inside of the microwave.

For this reason, the filters must ALWAYS be in place when the hood is used. The grease filters should be cleaned once a month, or as needed.

Removing and Cleaning the Filter

To remove, slide it to the rear using the tab. Pull it down and out.

To clean the grease filter, soak it and then swish it around in hot water and detergent. Don’t use ammonia or ammonia products because they will darken the metal. Light brushing can be used to remove embedded dirt.

Rinse, shake and let it dry before replacing.

To replace, slide the filter in the frame slot on the back of the opening. Pull up and to the front to lock into place.
